Sherlock Holmes Museum

The Sherlock Holmes Museum is a private museum in London dedicated to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Opened in 1990, it is situated at 221B Baker Street (between numbers 237 and 241), a Georgian town house built in 1815 that served as a boarding house from 1860 to 1936. The museum recreates the period 1881–1904 when Holmes and Dr Watson lived there as tenants of Mrs Hudson. The building is Grade II listed. Visitors can explore exhibits featuring items from various adaptations of Sherlock Holmes, including recreations of scenes from the 1984 Granada Television series. The museum offers an immersive experience for fans of the detective, with period rooms and memorabilia that bring the stories to life. It is a must-see for anyone interested in literary history and Victorian London.
